Men's summer fashion trends and style essentials
One of the most searched topics every year during this season is men's fashion trends. While a significant portion of fashion literature is focused on women's wardrobe, men also rely on style guides to help and simplify their daily choices. Summer, with its simplicity in outfits, can be a particularly challenging time to feel elegant in our style. By knowing how to combine and choose a couple of essential men's designer clothing pieces, summer can pass without a single misstep in our style.
What are the essential elements of men's summer clothing? We'll share key points to make your daily dressing effortless.
Designer shorts or bermudas for men
In humid climates like ours in Galicia, the heat calls for maximum ventilation and fresh air on the body. This is why shorts or designer men's bermudas were born, which emerged in high societies as a distinctive symbol. From school uniforms for the little ones to an essential key in contemporary men's clothing.
Luxury brands offer selections of shorts with their own identity. These warm-weather pieces are ideal for maintaining a certain elegance and sophistication. The different cuts and styles, from khaki pants to denim jeans for men, allow for a variety of possible combinations with our personal style.
Men's cotton polos
Stone Island, Moncler, Prada, Loewe... The major brands are well aware of the fondness for piqué cotton polos in men's style. Originally a sportswear uniform, their comfort and polished design offer a well-constructed and elegant aesthetic.
Tennis uniforms, among the most stylish in the sports circuit, have drawn inspiration from the timeless sophistication of cotton polos for decades. Brands like Moncler polo shirts and Stone Island polos have successfully combined their own identities with the timeless sophistication of their men's polos.
Men's silk shirts
As part of the resurgence of 80s fashion, silk shirts for men in all their variations have experienced an undeniable comeback. Their easy combination and the comfort of the silky fabric make them favourites for anyone who wears them. It's no wonder these are the latest fashion trends in men's shirts.
Their construction is flattering for a wide range of gentlemen, and some may even feature recognizable prints and symbols from top fashion houses. Loewe, Gucci, Jacquemus, and Givenchy know the power of well-designed patterned silk shirts. Their aesthetics are just as suitable for the beach as for a regular day indoors or even a casual cocktail event.
Boat shoes or nautical footwear
Nautical footwear is another clothing item that has transcended its original context to gain enthusiasts worldwide. Their elegance, versatility, and luxurious yet sporty appearance make them a staple in men's summer wardrobes.
The flexibility of these shoes is what makes them one of the top fashion trends for men. Paired with a cotton polo and shorts or bermudas, the complete look evokes summers on the southern coast of Spain. This internationally emulated style consists of these three simple pieces in the male wardrobe.
Designer sunglasses
Major brands continue to expand their influence in all areas of men's wardrobe. Among the latest additions, such as jewelry and watches, are designer sunglasses for men. Their protective aspect, along with their empowering effect on those who wear them, makes them a style reference. They have become an essential accessory in today's fashion.
After a day spent in front of screens and indoors, with increasing exposure to sunlight, a good range of designer brand sunglasses for men can not only elevate our wardrobe but also protect our health.
Bonus: Men's bags (camera bags, messenger bags, designer fanny packs)
Men's bags no longer require an introduction. An accessory that was previously reserved mostly for women has gained a considerable and permanent place in a gentleman's wardrobe. There is no season in which top luxury fashion brands do not launch exclusive ranges of bags for men. During the summer season, we appreciate an extra level of comfort for our daily needs.
That's why we recommend using small-sized bags worn across the body, such as designer fanny packs, camera bags, and messenger bags. They have enough capacity for our daily essentials, and the ability to carry them crossbody without using our hands adds extra comfort and manoeuvrability. Brands like Loewe, Saint Laurent, Prada, Gucci, and Givenchy have already explored the benefits of these accessories for gentlemen. You can find their exclusive designs on our men's bags page.
While men's fashion trends vary each season, at OTTODISANPIETRO, we advocate for timeless style that makes our lives easier and more sophisticated. A capsule wardrobe with easily combinable elements, complemented by unique pieces and specific trends, can provide the balance and diversity we seek in our wardrobe. While men's clothing has traditionally been seen as simpler, recent years have shown us countless ways and boundaries to explore in contemporary men's fashion.
